Even at the tender age of (almost) 66, I’m still up for trying new things. And today was one of those days! Ann and I were invited to our first Baby Shower. From what I’d read it was another of those celebratory imports from across the pond designed to mark the imminent arrival of a new screaming bundle of flesh. I’d also read that it tended to be for girls only – so, what would I be doing there? 🤔
Well, nothing actually! It was really good fun! More than 20 girls and just a few of us guys 😊. Trish had done most of the organising and that involved a mega-display of balloons whilst Kellie organised some ‘Baby Shower Games’. These included Baby Bingo; Pin the Dummy in the Baby’s Mouth (blindfolded!); telling the difference between a beer gut and a baby bulge and finally, guessing the price of baby items. Kellie’s Mum, Diane, supplied the food including a rather handsome quadruple-decker ‘Baby’ cake.
A really enjoyable event! 👍👍
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
